    iv got driftworks lca and tension rods on my s14a the lca isn’t extended a massive amount but the tension rod is at its max length and it has caused a nock every time I brake hard. Is there any other brands that offer more length on the tension rod than the driftworks ones?

    Hi Adam,

    Do you have any photos of your setup so we can have a look, it seems very unusual.

    How much have you extended your LCA by?

    Let me know

    That’s the only picture I could find on my phone and it’s before they were extended.

    You 100% the tension rod brackets are S14 and not S13?

    Hi Adam,

    You can extend the tension rod on both sends so you have more adjustment left on this. undo the locking nut on the tension rod mounting side and extend from there.
